Cthulhu (2008)
August 13, 2008
It’s unfortunate that so few horror fans know of the great H.P. Lovecraft. Well before what we consider to be horror movies graced the screen, writer H.P. Lovecraft was weaving tales so wicked that you may even find yourself more uncomfortable at night after reading The Rats In The Walls than if you had watched SAW in bed. With such a twisted and deep world that Lovecraft has created, nothing has been more revered and more referenced then the unspeakable evil known only as Cthulhu.
The upcoming film Cthulhu is based heavily off of the literary work of Lovecraft, and follows the journey of a lowly Seattle history professor on his journey to the coast of Oregon. The professors has been feeling drawn back to his estranged family due to his need to execute his late mother’s estate. While the positive part of his trip has been catching up with his old childhood friend in a long awaited tryst, the professor unfortunately discovers that his father is involved in a New Age cult planning some very sinister and apocalyptic events in the not so distant future.
Friday The 13th Remake Update
August 12, 2008
The return to Camp Crystal Lake is expected to hit theaters on February 13th, 2009, brining with it more gore, grotesque killing scenes, and of course sex. The remake of the film that first showed you the face of Jason Voorhees is being directed by Marcus Nispel, co-produced by Michael Bay and Brad Fuller, and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. The cast includes stars such as Jared Padalecki, Aaron Yoo, Derek Mears, Amanda Righetti, Danielle Panabaker, Travis Van Winkle, Willa Ford, Nick Mennell, Jonathan Sadowski, and Odette Yustman.
The film has received some confusion in the past few months as many had speculated they would be aiming for more of a PG-13 rating, but Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller addressed this concern, explaining that “None of our remakes have been PG-13. How do you remake a rated R horror movie and take the guts out literally and figuratively? What is F13 without sex, drugs and really, really long sharp machete? And why would we, horror fans ourselves, produce a movie devoid of the things that made the title so appealing in the first place. So let me say for the record, that the F13 that we start shooting this Thursday is a full bodied, rated R film.”
